Captain O-Ring - Replacement P6563 O-Ring for Bestway Flowclear 1000/1200/1500 Sand Filter Strainer Lid (2 Pack, P6563ASS16)

very good all the way around

The media could not be loaded. Identical to OEM part in diameter and thickness.A warning during install:Don't seat the o-ring too deeply into the groove or you won't get a good seal with the lid and it will leak! Pop it into the groove just enough for it to stay put and that will be sufficient for a good seal.I coated the o-ring with silicon grease prior to install and covered the clear top with an old plastic bucket to prevent the new o-ring from rapid UV degradation.

I searched all over for Flowclear replacement parts and there are not many out there. The ring is especially hard to find, you'll mostly only find Intext replacements of varying sizes. You get two for the great price, just add a bit of lube, seat it around the basket, screw the lid back on and no more leaks. Much better than having to buy another $300 pump or a $5-600 dollar pool for one part.

Doesn’t match with my pump as described when searching.

These orings are a perfect fit for the flow clear sand filter pump for my Bestway pool. I used it for the debris basket lid adn it is the exact same size, diameter, thickness.. perfect.

The O-ring was not the right size. Leaked non stop. Advertised as .210 used micrometer and it measured.177. Swapped it with a locally sourced gasket and leak stopped immediately. Save your money. Good thing is I have an extra O-ring to take to the local store and say I want this but thicker.

Need a hard to find O ring for my above ground pool.

This is slightly larger in diameter than my original Bestway o-ring. I was able to press it into place but I could never get it to seal well and not leak.
